“Star Wars” Snuggie at the Giants game: A tribute

As a Giants fan and a science fiction geek , I’ve always kept the two worlds separated. I wouldn’t think to wear my Sons of Johnnie LeMaster shirt to Comic-Con. And I would never have brought my 20-sided dice to a Giants game.

I’m reconsidering all of the above after seeing this guy in the front row of the Giants game on Friday Saturday, proudly covering himself in what appears to be a “Star Wars” Snuggie — or a fleece blanket being used like a Snuggie. If you know this man, please have him contact me at phartlaub@sfchronicle.com. I would like an interview. I also want to hang out, preferably during “Star Wars” Day at AT&T Park …

I was thrilled when I saw him, prominently displayed on screen live and in multiple replays when Melky Cabrera hustled to catch a foul ball in the second inning.

Kruk and Kuip paid tribute to a half dozen “Gamer Babes” (don’t get me started …), but didn’t acknowledge “Star Wars” superfan in the front row, even after I received help from punk rock wrestling biographer Bob Calhoun and others stirring up a nice little movement on Twitter.

This man represents everything I love about the Bay Area. I guarantee you that a guy draping himself in a shroud of “Star Wars” wouldn’t feel welcome, or possibly survive, in a place like Boston or Philadelphia.

He also represents about three decades of progress. When I was in high school, I stopped reading comic books because my friends wouldn’t think it was cool. Sci-fi/fantasy/comic book conventions were a subculture, not something popular that the mainstream media embraced. For me, a “Star Wars” Snuggie in the front row of a Giants game is the geek version of Brandi Chastain stripping down to her sports bra.

So send me an e-mail, “Star Wars” blanket guy. I’m just as big of a geek as you are. My official Pac-Man fan club card circa 1982 as proof …

I’d like to hear about your journey. I want to know where you got the blanket, what if anything the people around you said, and your ratio of Croix de Candlesticks versus how many times you’ve seen “The Empire Strikes Back” in a theater.

Where do you keep your Brian Wilson frozen in carbonite? Are you an Internet billionaire? Why were you so cold when some of the people around you were wearing T-shirts? Who is your favorite Alou? Your favorite Fett?

Drop me an e-mail. Together we’re Dark Lords of the Sith Giants.
